It is the new way.

It’s just the flu, bro.
Today I am presenting new science that I developed that will improve the situation we are in with this Coronavirus. My qualifications to speak on epidemiological matters are listed below: 1, Flubros member for 13 days 2. I am smart and creative and read the internet
Herd immunity holds that when approximately 60% of a population gets a virus then the other 40% are way less likely to get it because there are fewer potential transmitters of the disease around.
Therefore, I introduce the new science concept of encouraging healthiness-differentiated social distancing - or HSD.
The public policy this new science points to is clear - only the sick, unhealthy, immune-compromised and old should be encouraged to social distance until The end of April. Everyone else (the young and healthy) should do more socializing and touching than they would normally do.
What is the effect of this? The largely asymptomatic healthy people get removed as potential vectors for the disease during the month of April. They would get exposed and go through a period of being communicable, but they would be socially distant from the vulnerable. Then, after the period of being contagious is over, they begin to socialize with the vulnerable.
This also “flattens the curve” as the healthy won’t be going to the doctor. This keeps the economy going.
The most important benefit is that it prevents the likelihood of a second outbreak like China is having. Undifferentiated social distancing (opposite of what I want) keeps the vulnerable continually at risk for infection. This is what China is doing and this is what we are doing.
It is the new way.
:: Looking at it that way, once 300 million people in the USA have died from it - odds are pretty good that the other 40 million won’t get it! ::
Dude!
You GET IT!
You must be an employee of a major media outlet like CNN or MSNBC.
C’mon, fess up.
Good luck, the weather is finally starting to warm up a bit.
One of the guys in our softball group is an avid perch fisherman on Lake St. Clair. He complained that because the bait stores were closed and he couldn't get minnows, he had to catch his own crawlers.......
Impimp is a a man before his time, the Copernicus of his generation.
His name will go down in the Book of Life and history will remember him well.
Future generations will speak of him around the fire. There will be statues.

And folk songs! Don’t forget the folk songs.
I have more science.
Often times, when great fear overcomes a man, his mouth becomes foul and in an effort to disguise his fear, he will become aggressive and bare his teeth, hoping the cause of his fear doesn't smell the urine falling to the ground at his feet.
This is ancient and peer reviewed science.
HAHAHHAHAHAAhAHHA etc
Who?
One guy pitches, one guy hits and the other 4 shag the flies......

Guy with the virus but doesn’t know it catches the ball. Throws it with bare hand to second guy who throws it to third guy with bare hand...
get it???
Looks like a moderator amended the title of the thread - it was ambiguous. Non-Flubros will just have to follow the honor code and refrain from posting.
You may not be sciencey enough for this thread.
Guilty until proven innocent then?
A fearbro became afraid and reported it, like as if he saw a free American walking outside.
